It was her need to __________ that caused her to become an _________; the belief that the government was corrupt and the constant censorship being the two principal causes for move.
- express. . .outcast
- release. . .icon
- expose. . .outsider
- expatiate. . .expatriate
- control. . .anarchist
Answer(s): D
Explanation:
We're looking for a cause-and-effect relationship here, and that relationship has to do with the beliefs about the corrupt government and the fact that she is constantly censored. Someone who is censored has a need to present, and toward that end, Choices A, B, C, and D all qualify. Since we also know that her action involved moving, we can reduce the choices based on the second blank to Choices C and D. Further looking at the result of her actions and the subtleties of the sentence, we find that the censorship is recurring. So, in fine-tuning the first blank, we look for the word that best indicates a repetitive action. That choice is D, "expatiate," which means to speak or write at length indicating often, making Choice D the best selection.
